Friday!

Proverbs!

Listen, my son, 

and be wise; 

keep your mind on the right course. 

Don't associate with those who...

Proverbs 23:19-20 CSB

Can you picture when this wisdom is being shared?

Maybe they've found a cool spot after a long hot day and an older person is simply passing on the wisdom learned from experience...

Listen, my son :)

You're someone who I care about, who I love and I want you to be wise in what you do. 

We've talked about wisdom being the most important thing.

And it starts in our minds, in our thinking, and while we can't stop thoughts popping in, we can control what we dwell on, and what we choose to focus on. Try it and see if I'm right. 

It takes work, but you can keep your mind on the right course.

And one of the key things that helps is who you choose to spend time with.

Choosing what to focus our thinking on and who we spend time with are kind of the same thing, just one happens in our head and one outside in the day-to-day. 

A thought that pops in is a bit like someone we meet on the street. We may not have any choice about that, but we do get to choose to spend time with that person, or not. And we get to choose to spend time with that thought too. 

This is a part of being wise my friend :)
